Discussion: Chronic Back Pain

/in /by

Discussion: Chronic Back Pain

Patients frequently present with complaints of pain such as chronic back pain. They often seek medical care with the intent of receiving drugs to manage the pain. Typically, for this type of pain, narcotic drugs are often prescribed. This can pose challenges for you as the advanced practice nurse prescribing the drugs. While there is a process for evaluating back pain, it can be difficult to assess the intensity of a patient’s pain because pain is a subjective experience. Only the person experiencing the pain truly knows whether there is a need for drug treatments. This makes it important for you, as the prescriber, to watch for red flags and warning signs of abuse. In this Discussion, you explore the ethical implications of prescribing narcotics to patients with chronic back pain. Discussion: Chronic Back Pain

Evidence Based Practice Research Paper

/in /by

Evidence-Based Practice Research Paper

Prepare a 4–5-page review of recent research that examines statistics on the primary health concern of a population, describes the methods and tools used in the research studies, explains the factors that affect health promotion and disease prevention for a population, and recommends a health care initiative.

Preparation

Your team has presented its preliminary findings to the executive leadership in your organization, but leadership has some doubts about some of the information they received. Each member of the team has been charged with doing a critical examination of recent research in each member’s area of expertise. As the team’s nursing representative, you need to look specifically at the health care concerns identified in the Windshield Survey assessment. Evidence-Based Practice Research Paper

ORDER A PLAGIARISM FREE PAPER NOW

The first step in preparing to write a review of the research is to define your topic. For this assessment, your review will provide a comprehensive overview of the needs of the population you identified in the Windshield Survey assessment in terms of health promotion and disease prevention, the factors that contribute to health disparities for the population, and the need for the organization to improve health care delivery to the population.

In the Capella library, search for current scholarly or peer-reviewed professional research articles that:

  • Examine the health care risks and needs of your population.
  • Analyze the need to improve health care delivery to the population.
  • Evaluate, critically, the factors that affect health promotion and disease prevention for the population.
  • Examine strategies to reduce health disparities for your population.

Locate at least 5–7 resources so that you can eliminate 2–3 if necessary. You may discover, for example, as you read each article more in-depth that they may not all have the focus you need for your review.

Requirements

For this assessment, you need to develop several points around which to apply the research from the articles you located. Specifically, you need to:

  • Compare statistics for the primary health concern of your population to the rest of the general population in the United States. This would include frequency of occurrence, age groups most at risk, frequency of fatality, and so on.
  • Describe the epidemiological concepts, data analysis methods, tools, and databases used in the research studies you located. Address any flaws or biases you believe are present.
  • Explain the factors that affect health promotion and disease prevention for the population. (Hint: These may be things such as language barriers, cultural values, generational differences, social fear, and access to services.)
  • Describe the types of health care initiatives that have been tried by other organizations specifically for the primary health care concern or the population.
  • Recommend one health care initiative for your population, based on your research.

These should be the ideas, or points, that your review is based on. For each point, present all of the evidence you found. For this assessment, there should be at least four current research articles, although not all of the articles will typically offer evidence on all of your points. Evidence-Based Practice Research Paper

Be sure your assessment includes:

  • An introduction that presents the points you will cover.
  • The body that presents the research on the points.
  • A conclusion that restates the points in your introduction.

Your assessment should be 4-5 pages in length, not including the title page and reference page. Be sure you follow APA guidelines for style and format.
